Mark your calendars, Lancaster County! On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, voters in our community have a crucial opportunity to make their voices heard in a special election. These elections may not get the same spotlight as national or midterm elections, but they are just as important. Here’s what you need to know—and why your vote matters.
What Is a Special Election?
A special election is held to fill a vacant seat or decide on a specific issue outside of the regular election cycle. In Lancaster County this March, voters will have the chance to shape our community’s future by electing leaders who reflect our values and priorities.
Why Does This Election Matter?
Special elections often see lower voter turnout, which means your vote has even more power to influence the outcome. Decisions made by the leaders we elect impact issues that affect us all—education, local infrastructure, public health, and more. By casting your vote, you’re helping to ensure that Lancaster County continues to be a place where everyone can thrive.
